It is always nice when someone else likes the books you publish - and from different sources a couple of nice write-ups on Shire have caught my eye.

Type into a search engine Things to do in [your local area here] when you’re bored and with ready access to the internet, and you’re confronted with a bewildering list of pages. The nature of search engines mean most can be dismissed but among the commonplace stalwarts of swimming, cinemas, gyms etc you may just be lucky enough to find that unusual hobby. The kind of hobby you didn’t even realise could be a hobby. For me that happened to be beekeeping.

Here at the Shire Journal we are delighted to bring you another guest author. Lucy Inglis runs the 'Georgian London' website, which has recently won the 'History Website of 2009' as voted for by the online readers of History Today magazine. Most of the time Lucy can be found swimming around the 18th century but today she is looking closer to home, and her own experiences at her grandparents small-holding.

In the first of a new series of articles in the Shire Journal I will take a peek at the stories and blogs that have caught my eye recently relating to our monthly theme. This month we will be looking at the online world of farmers, small-holders, gardeners and anyone involved with rural life.

Welcome to the first in a new series of articles from guest authors on the Shire Journal. This week our guest author is Joe Crosby from Pop Cult Magazine. Read on to see how farmers and homeowners would be well served by utilising their own resources - and becoming owners of their own power stations.

What do Rory Bremner, Esther Rantzen, Kate Humble and Shire Publications all have in common? The answer is that they will all be attending Who Do You Think You Are? Live at London Olympia on the 26th -28th February.

Since starting work at Shire I have been fascinated by a number of books on a range of subjects. One of my favourites has always been Vanished Armies - A.E. Haswell Miller's record of the military uniforms worn in various European countries.
